I sell a lot of office furniture and the main things to look for when selling this line of product is brand, measurements, and condition. You will sell a HON file cabinet faster than a generic brand. Other than price, measurements are the MOST common question when people purchase office furniture. The second most common are condition and whether or not you deliver. Make sure when you advertise on CL, the above items are in the body of the listing. As with other items, it is all about right place/right time with regards to how fast it sells. If you have the room for storage, try CL for 30 days and if it doesn't sell, part it out first, than scrap it. Remove lock (entire cylinder) and internal file bars and external handles as they sell very well. Also, think outside the box with regards to selling. Instead of waiting for a buyer, look in the wanted section of CL as well as the barter section. Sometimes new businesses (needing furniture) will barter something like a file cabinet for their service or product.
